Description: # Chemics
        
        The [Chemics][] package is a collection of Python functions for conducting
        calculations in the field of chemical and fluidization engineering. Source code
        for the package is available on [GitHub][] and contributions from the community
        are encouraged.
        
        ## Installation
        
        The [Anaconda][] or [Miniconda][] distribution of Python is recommended for
        scientific computing. After setting up Python, the Chemics package can be
        downloaded and installed with the `pip` package manager:
        
        ```bash
        pip install chemics
        ```
        
        ## Usage
        
        The example below imports the Chemics package then uses the `rhog()`
        function to calculate the density of a gas based on its molecular weight,
        pressure, and temperature.
        
        ```python
        import chemics as cm
        cm.rhog(28, 170100, 773)
        ```
        
        An example of calculating the terminal velocity of a particle according to the
        Haider and Levenspiel 1989 paper is shown below.
        
        ```python
        import chemics as cm
        
        # Parameters
        dp = 0.00016    # particle diameter [m]
        mu = 1.8e-5     # gas viscosity [kg/(m s)]
        phi = 0.67      # particle sphericity [-]
        rhog = 1.2      # gas density [kg/m^3]
        rhos = 2600     # particle density [kg/m^3]
        
        # Haider and Levenspiel terminal velocity [m/s]
        ut_haider = cm.ut_haider(dp, mu, phi, rhog, rhos)
        ```
        
        More examples are available in the [chemics-examples][] repository.
